The 20 Best Bluetooth Speakers under $50

Enhancing your audio-visual experience from your tablet, laptop, or smartphone has never been easier. Bluetooth speakers used to be a gadget that would cost you more than $200. These days, you can keep your wallet full and still get great sound from your device.

Watching films, videos, TV, listening to music, playing games, listening to audiobooks and radio, you name it. Wireless Speakers have been around for quite a while and they are totally a way to go when you are out. When you’re at home, a party, the beach, heck anywhere you can play music, a portable speaker is a must-have.

You can spend thousands of dollars if you are an audiophile. But for those who want to get a better audio experience than they would get from a mobile device, the best way to do so without spending a ton of money is with one of these affordable bluetooth speakers.

This newest edition of the SoundCore model by Anker kept every good thing about the device but included some upgrades to improve it even more. The battery can last up to 24 hours, which is ideal if you’re planning to go on a camping trip or will be away from a charging station for a while.

The dimensions of 6.5 x 2.1 x 1.77 inches make this speaker very portable, and you can store it anywhere.

It features well-balanced treble, mid tones, and bass to deliver a great audio experience.

Even though the speaker is weather-resistant, you still need to be careful when you’re poolside. You shouldn’t worry if it gets splashed by some water though.

The downfall of this speaker is that the battery can only last for 7 hours on full charge.
